DJI Pocket 2, last minute decision

[pepi]

Anybody out there with DJI Pocket 2 experience? I am considering a last-minute purchase and would appreciate advice as to what accessories are essential.
I intend to use it in std. mode 2,7K: 2720×1530 with 30 fps along with my iPhone 11 in parallel and make daily automatic cloud-back-ups when in Wi-Fi reach in the evenings. Will assemble the clips after returning back home. Therefore, the (daily) 140 min. battery life on the DJI seems to be adequate (?).

What size of storage is recommended?
Which of these accessories are recommended/necessary on the Camino?

• iPhone clip
• Mini Control stick
• Radio microphone transmitter
• Extra battery
• Other

Appreciate feedback.

It’s about biking and droning but Ryan van Duzer´s video covers all the angles (pun intended).

Should add

Efrén González be da man to watch about all the gear. Lots of links to his videos on this forum as well.

The best recommendation i can give you is walk with your heart and spirit, open your eyes, shut off your brain, listen to the wind and birds and let whatever happens happen. You have your mind and heart and your friends for the best memories of your camino.

Have you considered the Insta360 one x 2. Combined with the 360 selfie pole , it is compact, light, and gives amazing results. Check it out on YouTube to see what can be achieved. It’s not the cheapest option but I will strongly consi for my next Camino. It’s waterproof and does stills and movie. Have a great walk.

I have a Pocket 2 which I love. However, I just purchased the Go 2 and suspect I will be putting my Pocket 2 up for sale soon. I am doing some hiking next week with the Go2 to confirm, but so far it seems very capable. Sure the Pocket 2 can do a few things the Go 2 can't and does offer 4K which the Go 2 does not. However, I normally record in 1080p anyway to keep file size reasonable. The convenience and small size of the Go 2 more than make up for the extra features of the Pocket 2.

I hiked up Mt. Charleston last week with the Insta360 Go 2 and was very pleased with the ease of use and the quality of the videos. Although I love(d) my Pocket 2, it's hard to think of a situation where I would bring it instead of my Go 2. One of the keys to getting full utility out of the Go 2 is to purchase the magnetic clips/mounts. They're cheap and are key to being able to swap the Go 2 amongst different filming positions to keep your videos interesting.
